INCINERATOR 'i Application led December 16, 1926. Serial No. 155,282.

This invention relates to domesticY or'Y household incinerator which is more par-` `ticularly intended. for destroying by fire garbage andrefusederived yfrom the kitchen character to so organize the same that itwill consume the material rapidly, economically and without creating any oifensive'odors.1Y

The object of this invention'is theproduction of an incinerator which accomplishesf these requirements satisfactorily vby means which can be operated easily, conveni'entlyV and at comparatively low cost.

In the accompanying drawings: Figure 1 is a yvertical section ofan incinerator embodying my improvements. Figure 2 is a horizontal section v'taken on line 2-'2, Fig. l. Figure' is a perspective-view of the distributor.' construotedin accordance be of any suitable. character r'butxinrthe present instance the same is composedfof a side wall 7, and a top 8,' `*which latter is provided with an Voutlet orsmoke pipe 9 :which carries the products of combustion to la chimney or other flueleading to the exterior of thel building. v

In the lower partof the casing is'arranged an ash pit 10 which is provided with an air inlet 11 on its'front side and between this ash pit and the lower end'of the combustion chamber is arranged a sectional grate 12 which supports themass of refuse or garbage onits underside and which may be of any' suitable construction. Within the casing is vrality Ofopenings 15 which are suitably spaced. y The materialto be burned isy intro- I duced through a feed opening 16 in the upper part of the frontV side of the enclosing wall, which opening is normally closed by a vertically swinging. door 17.

The means for distributing the gaswhich of reference indicate; he several Aviews of` vthe consumes the Ymaterial inthe receptacle in accordance with myk improvements are constructedvas follows: I f The numeral 18 represents a hollow base which is arranged horizontally andidiametricallyv across the'space betweenthe sections of the grate from the frontttothe rear'side of the receptacle and lwhich is 'supported at( its front and rearends in any suitable manner on the adjacent parts of the i'ire'boxof the incinerator. In the preferred form of tliisbasethe saine has Aa cylindrical central part 19 and twoarms 20, 2l extending forwardly and'rearwardly from this cylindricalf part. In its top the central part of the base is provided'with an outlet opening 22 and its side walls are providedwith two horizontal rows ofopenings 23 through which lgas 'is adapted to pass laterally and .burn in a flame against the lower "end ofthe mass of Vmaterial in the combustion chamber,l 1F Or the purpose of forming these gas vopenings 23 easily and at lower cost-'inthejcase the latter is divided into upper and lower sections, the dividing line 24C between these sections passing' horizontally ythrough these rows of openings 23 and the twosections being connected at their front and rear ends bys'crews l25, 'as shown in Fig, 1, or by any other'app'rovedmeans: C

Arranged centrally within the combustion chamber and above .thel base is a pedestal which comprises anupright hollow column 6, the upper vend of which is closed andthe `lower end of which flares downwardly andis secured by bolts 26 to the top kof the base. aroundthe opening 22 so'that the lower end of the column communicates with the base. On its exterior the column is provided with a plurality of upright lutes or channels 27, each channel being preferably formed between a pair of upright ribs 28 projecting laterally from the periphery of the column,

as shown in Figs. 2 and 3.V Each of these channels communicates with the interior of the hollow column by a pluralityof openings 29 formed, preferably only in the lower parts of the column. By this means gas' is prevented from passing from the upper end of the column into the upper ends ofthe channels where the flame of the burning vgas would only act a short time onthe material and instead of this `thegasv passing from the lower part of the column through the openings 29 into the lowerparts of the channels f will burn in arflame in the central part of the means, for example, by a horiaontal gas sup-' plv ipe arranged in the ash pit lengthwise. elew the heee' .ef-.the .distrihuter andare: I i vided vvith'feh iinweidly pmjeeting delivery nozzle 3,1 which opens Ainto the centralipart of the baseandthe lower "end of the column.v

Inorder to'ensure a proper flowV of ygas through the `gas openings 23 Vof thebase '18,

a deliector or baffle 470 is arranged atthe upperend of the nozzle 3l overthe nozzleV outlet and serves to deect the gas laterally toward the openings 23. i This deflection, as b est shown in F l, is preferably of inverted mushroom form and is mounted on a -post yor, standard il which vextends down-l wardly through the nozzle and is secured atv Y its lower end tothe bottom of the distributor inanysuitable I'na'nne'r.` e

The .lighting of the gasis.effected by a pilot light 32 arranged 4in the ash pit below Y thebase of the Vdistributor 1so las touignite'the gaswithin the basev and cause the flame thereof to pass out through the openings 23 and.

against ,the v lower.. part lof the garbage; f Spine of this ignited ses else passes upwardly into the v.column and laterally through the openings 29 thereof and thence upwardly through the channels so as to dry and burn the Inaterial in the central part of the mass.

Sonie of'the'lightedgas also passes vfrom the base .upwardly through a yvertical extension passage 33 on one side of thecolulnnto the .topthereof and issues laterally through a pilotbpening 3.4 adjacent to the upper ends of the channels, thereby lighting the gas if the same should reach the tops of the Vchannels before being ignited, whereby accumulation of unconsumed gas in the upper part` of the casing and possible explosion 1sl avoided;V After thel gas has been thus lighted at the base and the upper end of the l column the pilotV light is turnedoff.

As the flames issue from Ithe upper ends of the channels on the column the same are deflected latere-ily over the top of the mass et.' refuse in the receptacle by a baille 3,5 ofl dislg` form'nornifally resting on theV upperend of the column and overhanging the same,'there by compelling the gas flames to spend their Vfull eifect on the garbage for drying and burning the same before escaping through the smoke pipe.

This baffle is preferably connected by arins, similar to that shown at 36 in Fig. l, with the feed door, so that upon opening the latter the baille will be raised out of the pathv of incoming refuse and when the feed door is closed the baffle is again lowered into its operative position ontlie distributor column.

As the refuse and garbageV is thrown into lthe 'receptacle the same piles around the pedestal and forrns bridges across the chand nels or flutes in the same7 whereby the refuse is prevented trein @linking the ehannels 2*( or closing the-ges Openings 29, thereby Yiisurrliig free passe es? at all time's'ffer .the upward Streaming" .emesasainet the core YQi the refuse and causing't" of fuel,
